madmack, can you put this in the Market as well?
[Android Apps and Games] dafunky:
Curiously, I just noticed that all my physical buttons keep lighting while your notification is working, so indeed it won't be ok "as is" on my Desire...
[Android Apps and Games] soraxd:
are the rest of the pixels 100% black? i had this on in the light, and i could see the screen lit up a dim black, whats going on?
[Android Apps and Games] gaelynx:
Little suggestion : The visuals would be a tad better if the icons doesn't overlap when they move to a different location.

Hum I actually noticed that when using the new test mode, but actually there isn't that many icons on the screen on normal usage, so anyway it's not important...

When I plug phone in and charge for the night my full charge window pops up and gets stuck there until I hit ok. usually pops up and goes away until I unlock. anyone have this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
The reinstall has k9 notifications working perfectly now. I'm guessing it was a corruption or conflict in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
perfect, thank you and everyone who participated in this k9 beta testing :) I will release this on the market when I get some time. probably later on today.
[Android Apps and Games] CNemo7539:
I feel like NoLed is putting some stress on the system, when proximity sensor is on.

I have WatchDog installed and it often shows alerts for sensorserver_ya process, saying it takes up to 99.9% CPU. My wife complained that her phone burned battery in less than 2 hours and she also had same alert. Her phone is mostly in her purse and she is getting a lot of mail and calendar events. All that started to happen when NoLed got that proximity sensor and calendar support and I've set it on for her. I guess NoLed sits on sensor event, and if something takes a lot of time to finish here, it might manifest itself in such a way.

I don't think we have any other apps using sensors.

It's just a guess, but will be cool if ironed out.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
hmm.. If i'm understanding the documentations correctly. the proximity sensor uses very minimum resources to stay up. but yea, am definitely holding a lock for that.

However, in my case, most of the time during regular business days, my phone is sitting on my desk where I work. so its not in my pockets all the time. Therefore I can't say I have tested that use case extensively yet, although I didn't notice any major battery issues over the weekend (where the phone stays in my pockets most of the time). Anyone else experience major battery issues with the proximity sensor feature turned on ?

I remember reading in the comments in the market that the proximity sensor helped people with their battery drain issues. :confused:

I'll need to be able to experience this problem before I can try to fix it. so i'll try to keep my notifications on and flip the phone over for a few hours and see how the battery fairs. but it would be great if someone else could share whether they have similar/different experiences.
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
I'm using the proximity sensor and have had the phone off it's charger since 9 am and I have 34% battery left.

It sounds to me as if he has the first version that included the proximity sensor that wouldn't turn off when the notifications were dismissed, or somehow has lingering effects from that version. Or maybe he is using the "dismiss with proximity sensor" option which I have never tested so I don't know if that drains battery.

Another option I can think of is I have the notifications set to auto dismiss in 30 minutes so that could be the difference, though I find that doubtful.

Then, of course, there is always the chance the WatchDog app is causing the excessive drain due to the constant surveillance.

I have my phone in my pocket all day when I'm not using it, by the way.

Issue:

When the "Low Battery" popup comes up, I am unable to click the "Ok" box since NoLED is in the background. Last time this happen I had to do a hard reset.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
uncheck "disable touch drivers" so that won't happen again.

thanks for chiming in. I'm experiencing similar results today. Had a notification early this morning, kept my phone upside down (to suppress the screen, without dismissing the notifications) and lost about 3-4% / hour which is kinda normal for my froyo rom.

Fascinate Puzzle Lock Disabled - Now NoLED

I have been using NoLED on my Samsung Fascinate, LOVE IT! I changed some of the default settings, one of them disabled the puzzle lock, now NoLED doesn't work :-(. There are other users on the androidcentral forums commenting the same.

Is it possible to make NoLED work without the puzzle lock activated on the phone?

This is the forum on androidcentral, Samsung Fascinate:

Android_Secret_Code String Revealed!

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] EarlZ:
On my end there really isnt that much of a power saving with the sensor, on avg I lose 23% per X hours with the prox sensor enabled its about 19-21%
[Android Apps and Games] neonstone:
can u do it typographically? just an option like 1 missed call, 1 message received??

like they do on nokia phones with the day's time and date.
[Android Apps and Games] dod0o:
Can NoLED show the time and date like Nokia N85?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
All right guys ! released v3.3 which supports themes as well. More details on that can be found at the website.

@PhoenixFX, I hope you don't mind the fact that I uploaded your 2x set to the website for people to use as a theme. You're very welcome to add more if you'd like. (its missing icon_k9) but I just copied icon_email for that.
[Android Apps and Games] bananis:
i get a FC and/or black screen everytime i try and go into the theme menu.

Theme has been extracted to /sdcard/NoLED/

E: ok, figured it out

two things.

1. when you extract the zip using root explorer, it extracts to /PheonixFX_v2/PheonixFX_v2 ... so make sure you manually put the icons in the first directory.

2. make sure there's only folders with icons etc in the directory. i had the zip in there, and that's what was causing the FC's

excellent program btw.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
thanks for letting us know about that. am wondering whether you got a crash report the next time you opened the settings menu? if you did, can you please submit one?

if not, when did the fc happen exactly ? was it after "testing", or was it when you clicked on themes ?

its still the first release with theme support, lets hope we get this patched up in the next couple of iterations :)
[Android Apps and Games] Gooneronefourever:
Can't find the theme

i still have yet to find the theme through my NoLED settings.. i have installed the the folder onto my sd card like how it was instructed on the website but when i open NoLED to select the theme it only shows the default theme that is showing up. is there something i'm doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you probably don't have the correct folder setup. it has to be in /sdcard/NoLED

and for our galaxy phones, that means the internal sdcard, not the external one.

the themes will then be placed in that folder, each in a unique subfolder. so /sdcard/NoLED/Phoenix is one example. inside "Phoenix" you should have all the PNG files.
[Android Apps and Games] Gooneronefourever:
i can't seem to figure it out... i'm pretty sure its in my internal sd card.. i guess i'll fiddle around with it and see if i can figure it out. thanks though!
[Android Apps and Games] prosto_mike:
I know this is a first iteration of this program with themes but it would be great if your installation routine created the necessary folder structure and placed a default theme icons in there. And probably having themes in their own folder (/sdcard/NoLED/themes, not just /sdcard/NoLED) would be a better solution, then if you decide to implement backing the settings up to a file, you could have /sdcard/NoLED/backup and so on and so forth.

thx
[Android Apps and Games] PhoenixFx:
No, not at all. :)

I made a general email icon (inspired by Samsung's default email icon) that you can use for K9
[Android Apps and Games] _JKay_:
Thanks alot! I really like the theme addon. Now we can make it look like we want.

Darkyy: It's time to make your Raw Steel Edition of these.... :-)
[Android Apps and Games] ipeench:
Im bored so im making some themes... ill post them when im done if anyone cares.
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
I just want to say i LOVE this app. It's actually one of my favourite things on my Galaxy S. I love the ability to glance at the screen even when its off, and see that I've missed something, and not only that... exactly WHAT i've missed.

The addition of themes is just awesome. These 2x icons look great on the screen (and the thought of being able to make my own is just too drool-worthy to think about). Can't wait to see what icon packs start appearing for this.

I do wish there was the ability to have one (other than the standard 'other') for the standard Samsung email app, but I understand that can't be done. I might have to try K9 JUST to be able to have an email icon.

As soon as we get paid (my wife and I both use this) in a week or so, I will be donating... it is EASILY worth it madmack!!!!

one thing though,since installing the new Phoenix icon pack (which works fine) the Gmail icon when I run a test seems to be displaying at the standard size. It looks smaller than all the other icons, even though it seems to be in the folder just fine, and in the proper size from your zip. Not sure why that would be :-/

oh... while I'm typing this I just got a tweetdeck notification and glancing at the screen next to me right now I can see a nice, large, easy to see icon.

AWESOME!!!

(I could even go for slightly larger icons to see what they looked like too.... just sayin) ;)
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
of course we do :D

Exchange Email Notification?

Hi Can i know if this support the exchange cooperate email's notification as well?
[Android Apps and Games] flonec:
clock???

:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] ipeench:
I made a thread here with the themes so I don't fill up to much room in this one. :D
[Android Apps and Games] PhoenixFx:
Thanks for pointing that out, there was an error in the file name of the gmail icon. I have accidentally added an underscore at the end.

Corrected it and re uploaded the zip. To fix the problem, go to the folder where the icons are stored and rename icon_email_.png to icon_email.png.
[Android Apps and Games] CNemo7539:
Some more details, may be it will help to pinpoint.

Both proximity settings were set on. Are these mutually exclusive?

Very often I was getting Watch Dog alert in few minutes after getting notification.

Disabled both settings yesterday and never got WD bark again.

Both of my phones are fascinate. That may be a cause as well.

I understand that android proximity sensor might be very little draw. My point was that NoLed is pretty much a callback on that sensor and if something takes a lot of time to return from that call it might be a problem. However I'm not an android expert. It worth to mention that WD never complained about NpLed itself, but about sensorserver_ya process, which in my understanding is linux level.
[Android Apps and Games] PhoenixFx:
Here is another icon set (theme) with a button like style
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thanks, I'll update the one I have with this one. Generally speaking, if you're missing an icon or two, it'll show the small default ones :)

I already have a set of 3x the size for the original pack. I'll upload them on the site once I have a screenshot of them :) I must say though, they look great even at that size :)

They should be able to work together. The dismiss with proximity feature works only for a few seconds after a notification popups. After that, its all the regular "proximity sensor"'s work. Can you do me a favor and uninstall WD ? maybe its the monitoring state thats killing it ? it really works with no major battery drain issues here.

great comment. I originally thought /scard/NoLED/themes but then I guess I got carried away when I saw things working and wanted to release it asap. If we'll add more features in the future, we'll definitely need to change that folder to /NoLED/themes

As for your second point. I don't know about you, but I hate it when apps decide to create folders on my sdcard without my permission. I periodically have a look at the content of my sdcard and when I see folders I didn't create.. well, lets just say it frustrates me and I delete them manually. So I don't want that to happen here, users' sdcard is cluttered already probably, so if they want themes, they'll have to put that folder in there.

If I'll add a backup settings feature in the future, then i'll create the folder structure as soon as they click on "Backup" :)

great points though. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
this might be related to apps' external storage: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal

bottom line, apps should store their stuff here: /Android/data/<package_name>/files/

at least that's my interpretation
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yep, I know about that. but users don't necessarily have easy access to that folder :) that's why some apps store stuff on the sd card.
[Android Apps and Games] JaeKar99:
Love this App

Really like this app. Given your responsiveness to emails, corrections and overall general ease of use.

Kudos to you!
[Android Apps and Games] dod0o:
have mercy

bump
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
didn't mean to ignore you, i just didn't know what that was exactly. I looked at it now, but that's not really what noled is for. Besides, we're trying to minimize the amount of lit pixels at any given time.

The way this "clock" works, is by going on after you turn your screen off. right ? in other words, that'll keep the screen permanently on, which I'm really not interested in developing.

Photoshop NoLED Icon Templates

Enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
just checking you didn't misunderstand me.

in the section the link i've posted goes to the developer reference talks about storing data on the external media.

/Android is a folder in the root of the "internal external" storage.

so the absolute path reference to the one i quoted above would be:

/sdcard/Android/data/<package_name>/files/

/sdcard/ being the root of the "internal external" storage

/sdcard/sd/ being the root of the "external external" storage aka MicroSDHC-Card (or whatever card you have), at least that's what it's called on the I9000 under 2.1 (i think it's being renamed in 2.2 though)

i'm not sure if a explained this well - just have a quick look over the dev reference to make sure you read it in proper englisch :D

and on a sidenote: i really hate apps that put stuff in my /sdcard/ folder because they usually don't clean up after themselves.

EDIT: forgot writing something of importance - /sdcard/ is accessible to all users, root or not

german translation
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
wow, that was fast ! I'll make sure I put this in the next version. Thanks a ton !

About your suggestion, I looked into it and it seems i'll just have to make users use /sdcard/Android/data/my.package.name.which.am.changing.btw/themes

While it may look cumbersome, I think its the way the google lords intended. That way, users will also find the folder without the need to create folders manually.

These folders also get auto-deleted when you uninstall the apps, so am not sure how I'd like that. Given that some users would want to keep their themes intact while they uninstall/reinstall NoLED.

It also does seem that google did intend to keep this for applications' manipulation only though. In other words, for the application itself to read/write and not other users browsing these folders. I'll need to play with it a bit, and if I like it, i'll make sure this is reflected in the next versions.
[Android Apps and Games] prosto_mike:
Russian translation. I'd like to preview how its gonna look like though as I see titles are being cut off and I'd like to make sure it still makes sense :)
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
Here's another theme for those who might be interested. I often find myself in direct sun light when attempting to view notifications, so I made these quite large (70x70) and very colorful. Feel free to modify these as you wish. Of course, these are color configurable within NoLED's settings.

Legend:

Letter= SMS

Open Letter with "g"= Gmail

Paw Print= K9 mail

Calendar= Calendar

Fascinate(Phone)= Missed Calls

"talk" bubble= Gtalk

Megaphone= Voice mail

Exclamation Triangle = Others

P.S. In the screenshot, there are two K9 paw prints because I have two K9 email accounts, just fyi. Also, haven't been using these long enough to notice any difference in battery consumption. Your mileage may vary.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
yeah valid thoughts.. though my guess would be that the two extremes of android user would react more or less like this:

phone user (doesn't know for sure how android is spelled correctly)

- "oh great a theme! let's download and use that."

- applies theme, no more thoughts after that

- possibly uninstalls/reinstalls app, maybe wants the theme back/still wants to use it and expects it to be there

power user (wheres my next rom so i can flashzor it on my superphone)

- "yeah let's get those 8 zips on my sdcard"

- applies theme after theme, changes often

- definintely uninstalls/reinstalls the app, will write bugreports if expectations are not met (could be either theme retention or deletion)

both of those use-cases could be cared for with the following scenario

- themes are provided as zip files, downloaded via forum/other web-sources

- files get either moved manually to the correct directory (away from /sdcard/download to /sdcard/Android/data/...)

- or NoLED provides a theme-selector (see more complicated alternative to that below)

theme-selector

- in NoLED: "select theme..."

- select a zip-file in the browser (or display only a certain folder - which would mean the files need to be moved manually by the user)

- zip-file stays where it is, icons get extracted to /sdcard/Android/data/... -> the so called - tada - icon-cache

icon-cache

- gets filled with "installed" themes over time (installing a theme with the same filename overrides the current copy in cache)

- gets uninstalled with the app

- independent from zip-files -> theme-zips are retained where they were downloaded

an alternative to all the above

- provide built in theme manager (like many weather widgets, etc.)

- easy download/management of themes, re-download is no hassle

- would open up the possibility to store this stuff internally (rather /data than /sdcard)

disclaimer to all this: i'd expect the theme-zips to have a consistent file/folder naming/structure convention

anybody still reading? :D

Italian translation. Let me know if you need to modify something. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] BlueEyes99:
an awesome app just got better with the themes, i just installed a few themes just to see that the colors are different and dont look like the ones provides on the preview pic. is there a possibility to get those colors without playing around with the color config? Because i couldnt get the exact color tones like the ones on the preview just by playing around. any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thanks for your thoughts and taking the time to write about this.

I like the idea of having users drop their zip files in a folder, and then have NoLED install these themes from that folder into Android/data/blah.blah

Any idea how hard unzipping a file would be using android's sdk ?

The only problem after that is if people reinstall the app, they'll have to install their zip files/packages again one after the other. but I guess that represents a small use case.

What I like about the current method, is the ability for users to mix and match different themes to make their own by simply replacing these *.png files between the different folders. maybe we could just refer them to the actual data location in the sdcard for that..

great ideas once again, i appreciate your thoughts into this.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
3.3.1

here it is guys, if you want to test how the language modification works.

This version has three new languages in it:

italian

german

russian

Let me know if something looks weird so we can fix that :) I kinda forgot one string, so I added my own guess so I hope its ok. Its the subtitle of the application in the app drawer, so now that should be in these languages as well.

Important note

versions > 3.3 will have a new package name. (I know, I delayed it far enough) but that means you'll have to uninstall any previous NoLED installations before proceeding with this one.

This will also be in the next market version as well, hope it won't be a big deal for many ppl to uninstall/reinstall this new iteration. should've done it sooner :o
[Android Apps and Games] prosto_mike:
I can't seem to find out how to select a language... The first screen that comes up (for new users...) is in english probably should offer to select a desired language first.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
oh, it doesn't really work like that. your phone's locale has to be set to that language. Then, any application that supports it, displays it :)

say you're german, and your current android setup is in english. You'll need to go to Settings > Local and Text > and select German at "Select Locale".

Then NoLED should reflect these changes and display everything in german.

if everything in android is in english, then that assumes that you can (hopefully) understand english and won't need the good old translated menus.
[Android Apps and Games] prosto_mike:
I thought that must have been the issue. Well my phone only supports English, German, Italian , Spanish, French and Korean, so there is no way for me to see how Russian translation looks like. I think manual language selection would still be a good idea. Other apps like K9 and Handcent for instance, offer this feature.

thx
[Android Apps and Games] T3Qguy:
Ok I have a theme problem. I have installed the PhoenixFX_x2 and placed it in the correct folder on my phone. I can see it in the themes section and it is selectable but it still displays the default icons when it is selected. Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] prosto_mike:
when you extract PhoenixFX_x2 it extracts to PhoenixFX_x2/PhoenixFX_x2 - make sure your structure looks like this /sdcard/NoLED/PhoenixFX_x2/*.png

HTH
[Android Apps and Games] T3Qguy:
How do I go about checking that? I may be easily overlooking it but I can't seem to figure it out.
[Android Apps and Games] funkyfungus:
+1

Or maybe tell me how to use an email icon for it instead of the 'other' icon?

That would be awesome!

[Android Apps and Games] prosto_mike:
Connect phone to a computer and mount the drive. Go into NoLED folder and you should see PhoenixFX_x2 folder in there, open that up. You will probably see another PhoenixFX_x2 folder in there. That's not right. Move the images from this second PhoenixFX_x2 folder up one level and delete it. That should do it
